Not sure how useful this information is because of variables like location and dealership size / past sales of M cars which affects the number of allocations and so on which causes variance in the process, but I have nothing else better to do this afternoon (sad, I know), so I’ll follow the format of ric124.

My order is 2017 AW with manual transmission and blacked out front grills which will be port installed and therefore delay delivery slightly.

01/19/2016 – order placed, number 1 on dealer list (a small dealer in Connecticut)
06/16/2016 – received allocation with production number; assigned week 34 production
(August 14 – 20)
07/20 – BMW fixed MYBMW access so that I can track online

I figure if all goes well my car should be built by August 20 (that’s what the geniuses told me) and ready to pick up by late September or early October.

I’m wondering if the differential problems / stop build / recall is going to slow down the process for orders like mine that are scheduled for production since BMW will be using any available replacement diffs to first satisfy those already built (as they should).

I too will update as we go, unless someone brow beats this thread as pointless and useless and shames me off my laptop!

This thread should be under the Pricing / Ordering series of threads.
